What a difference 14 miles makes - the five-bedroom villa in Uphall available for the price of a one-bedroom Edinburgh flat

As rent costs and house prices in Edinburgh continue to soar, properties on the outskirts and slightly further afield are showing the affordability of buying a home beyond the costly city centre.
Boasting a large, open-plan kitchen and dining room, the Fullarton and its five bedrooms rival Edinburgh's own offerings on the market for similar prices.Boasting a large, open-plan kitchen and dining room, the Fullarton and its five bedrooms rival Edinburgh's own offerings on the market for similar prices.

A five-bedroom detached villa located just 14 miles from Edinburgh city centre has arrived on the market in the form of the Fullarton, offering a sprawling 1619 square-feet for £334,000. The property features an open-plan kitchen/diner, ensuite bedroom and garage.

The large property and its sizeable bedrooms draws a distinct contrast against Edinburgh city centre offerings, such as that of a one bedroom flat on Cumberland Street recently advertised for £325,000. For just under £10,000 less than the Fullarton, the second floor flat in New Town offers a whole 1559 square feet less in floor space than its Uphall rival, measuring just 60 square-feet in total.

Uphall Station Village sales negotiator, Janice Gemmell, said: “Plot 265 offers a tremendous amount of space for families with five really good sized bedrooms in the property. The home has been of particular interest to those looking for more space than what they would expect to get in the city.

“It is perfect for professionals looking to commute into the city for work, and we would urge anyone who is interested in the property to enquire as we anticipate this value-for-money home to be off the market soon.”

With several primary and secondary schools nearby, the Fullarton and other properties in the Dundas Estates development, offers buyers the chance to enjoy a family-friendly community and quieter, green area in West Lothian with great links to Edinburgh and nearby towns.
